Default Re: Worrisome cold call level 1 of ME

Flop raise is fine/good. W/ pot odds, allows dane to overcall a wide range and you hate a bunch of turn cards and you won't know which cards will hit your oppt(s).

Even if you do get him to fold everything worse, this is not necessarily a bad result cause his flop range is wide enough. Do you expect to extract a whole bunch from a worse hand than TT here if we just call? Is that extra amt we extract enough to offset the times he catches up w/ overcards/middlepair/gutshots or when we get bluffed off our hand? Also, our hand has little chance to improve.

I would think that his flop call is almost always a big draw, so I can see an argument for betting the turn. Though, I think check/reeval river is best here. Folding if flush draw gets there, possibly picking off a bluff if the board bricks.
